MC68SEC000AA10R2

The MC68SEC000AA10R2 is a static embedded microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors based on the EC000 core architecture. It provides a single 32-bit core running at 10 MHz in a 64-pin QFP (14 × 14 mm) surface-mount package.

Designed for low-power embedded applications, the MC68SEC000 series targets battery-operated and portable devices where power management, small footprint, and compatibility with existing M68000 family software are important.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture EC000 core with a single 32-bit processing core; architecture provides established M68000-family instruction and addressing capabilities as detailed in the MC68SEC000 product brief.
• Performance 10 MHz operating frequency suitable for cost-sensitive, low-power embedded control tasks.
• Power Management Static HCMOS design with low-power modes. The series documentation reports very low standby current and the ability to stop the processor clock for power savings.
• Voltage Operation Documented operation in both 3.3 V and 5.0 V systems (per series product brief).
• Memory and Bus 32-bit data/address architecture with support for DRAM controllers and a memory-mapped I/O approach; linear addressing range described in the series brief.
• Interfaces Includes a 10 Mbps Ethernet interface (1) as listed in the device specification set.
• Package & Mounting 64-pin Quad Flat Pack (QFP) 14 × 14 mm, surface mount.
• Operating Temperature Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.
• Graphics No graphics acceleration.

Typical Applications

• Portable Consumer Electronics — Low-power static operation and small package footprint suit battery-operated handheld devices and electronic games.
• Personal Digital Assistants & Handheld Instruments — Compact QFP package and low standby current support compact, battery-powered measuring equipment and PDAs.
• Embedded Control Systems — 32-bit EC000 core and memory-mapped I/O make the device suitable for general embedded control and interface tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Low-power static design: Static HCMOS architecture and the ability to stop the processor clock reduce power consumption in standby and active modes.
• Multi-voltage operation: Supports both 3.3 V and 5.0 V systems for flexible board-level integration.
• Compact surface-mount package: 64-pin QFP (14 × 14 mm) enables small PCB footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Established software ecosystem: Series documentation indicates compatibility with M68000-family code and existing development tools, easing software reuse and reducing development time.
• RoHS compliant: Meets lead-free requirements for modern electronics manufacturing processes.
